The exhibition focuses on time and on loved people and characters that the artist photographed in different places around the world.
Last Saturday, November 9, it was inaugurated Dance a slow dance with you, by Constanza Oxenfordcurated by Florence Battiti and Fernando Farinain Ungallery. The magnificent exhibition, which focuses on time and on loved people and characters that the artist photographed in different places around the world and who unexpectedly return to her life again and again, includes photographs, videos and objects.
“Time, you have particles of infinity. Just as your step shows folds within folds, I offer games and mazes. I tell you good news, today my heart began its growing phase. Remember and shine. It brings me images of people we saw together and brings me closer to you and the bloodless past. I close my eyes, my heart trembles and the memories return, gently but without warning,” the artist writes in “My Dear Time,” a text that accompanies the exhibition.
“We all know that time is a tyrant and that its passage is ineluctable and yet Constanza Oxenford proposes to dance a slow dance with it. Of course there is no shortage of mutual suspicions, she does not seem to feel completely calm, she knows that it is someone important, even someone who transcends her, perhaps as much as when Borges talks about that singular moment that makes us aware of the eternity. And it does so by recovering a sentence from William Blake, the “great English mystic,” which says: “Time is the gift of eternity,” the curators write about the exhibition.
